Jesse Marsch has tipped his former MLS arch-rival Patrick Vieira to become a Premier League great as a manager — just like he was as a player.
The Leeds boss admits he used to ‘hate’ Crystal Palace chief Vieira when they came up against each other in America as the respective coaches of New York Red Bulls and New York City.
But ahead of their Selhurst Park reunion tonight, Marsch congratulated the former Arsenal captain on being inducted into the Premier League’s hall of fame, and added: ‘I don’t know if you can be inducted as a manager as well, but I think he can be an incredible manager in this league for years.
